- The original sentence uses "resembled with," which is not the correct usage. "Resemble" doesn't require a preposition.

- Option 1: No improvement

- This would keep the original sentence as is, but it's not correct because "resembled" shouldn't be paired with "with."

- Option 2: "resembled by"

- This is incorrect as "by" is not used with "resembled." It changes the meaning to imply a passive construction that's not applicable here.

- Option 3: "resembled"

- The correct choice. "Resemble" is correctly used without any preposition.

- Option 4: "resembled to"

- This is incorrect. "To" should not follow "resembled" as it implies a direction or comparison, which is unnecessary here.
